Let me just say the waitress was amazing. But we will never be back. We started with the corn nuggets which actually were decent. Unfortunately that’s not enough of a reason for us to return. We didn’t enjoy the salsas, although the concept of a trio of salsas is a great idea. We shared the shrimp and chicken fajitas. The menu talks about spices on the meat for the fajitas but these were the blandest fajitas I have ever tasted. We kept trying to add salsas and things to them but they were just so flavorless. We couldn’t even finish it. The chicken tasted boiled and shrimp tasted odd. The chips were good. Overall this just didn’t feel like a Mexican restaurant as much as a very Americanized style of food.

This was the first time we visited Casa Caliente, the restaurant was very clean and inviting. The service was great, fast and friendly. The food looked so good but it was bland. Don't ask me how the green chili was, I didn't find any on my plate. I was disappointed.
Edit- Not sure what the owner response even means. Of course I ordered it. I gave a kind review, and commented that the food would be something you would find in our nursing home. I'm sorry if that offends the owner.

Celebrated my husband's SURPRISE 60th Birthday party at Casa Calliente. What a great location. Perfect setting!!! The room was just right for 20ish people. The food was fantastic. The service was superior. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks so much for helping me give my husband a wonderful 60th Birthday!!!

great food for the price. the wait staff is super friendly even when it's busy. I'm pretty sure the owners work along side everyone and seem super nice.

Not Mexican in Highlands Ranch
My husband and I decided to try this place because it had gluten free. We came in and saw the gluten-free menu. My husband asked for the gluten free menu and the hostess said “we don’t have one”. 17 minutes after being sat down our waitress came by wanting to take our drink and food order. (Side note) She was obviously training, was super sweet and did her best. Although we did get forgotten about.
The chips are fried in the same frier as everything else. The waitress grabbed the menu my husband pointed at for gluten free. He ordered the boneless wings and tostada. The wings were fried in oil that turned everything dark and tasted bad. His tostada had such a bad flavor that he couldn’t eat it. Mind you, this is a man who will eat pretty much anything. We sent everything back and he tried a basic chicken and cheese only quesadilla. When it came out, it was not from the “fresh made tortilla maker” but greasy chicken with peppers, onion and cheese.
Personally I had the tamales with black beans. Never in my life have I had liquid smoke in black beans. The rice was so dry when I dropped an ice cube it absorbed quickly. The “gluten free” is not. It’s cross contaminated. I’m in bloating pain. If your going to say “gluten free” it needs to be “gluten free” not cross contaminated.
Horrible!!!!! The poor server knew it was bad and the “manager” was rude. We don’t complain we are foodies who just enjoy eating out. Worst experience ever…adding the country music in the background. Tortilla making machine shown pictures, well it is sitting at the front of the restaurant NOT being used.
Skye, go be a server somewhere else. You did a great job and a sweetheart, you deserve better.
